Ah OK. Copies would be fine as long as they are readable. you have to send both copy of the original and copy of the translation. Do not forget that you have to complete and sign form G-325A as well, they should see an original signature not just a copy.

Scans of the passport biographic page and birth certificate are fine. Scans of all the supporting documentation are fine for the I-130. All of the forms that need to be signed need to be original though. No problem with passport or birth certificate in maiden name (you would never get a birth certificate in a married name, I think). When you get to the next phase, you'll need originals and copies, so hang onto those.

If she wants, she can get a new US passport with her new married name, by filing an application and submitting the marriage certificate.

For the I-130, only send photocopies. Do not send originals. Send in photocopies of the originals in Arabic. Send photocopies of the English translation along with the certification block recommended by USCIS (Google USCIS translation).

For the NVC, you must send in the originals or certified copies from the government agency in charge of maintaining the records, along with a set of photocopies of all the documents submitted.
